If your amplifier requires any new valves (tubes) to resolve an issue these can be supplied and fitted by PCJ.

Whether it is new rectifier, pre-amp or power amp valves we can supply specific brands of your choice or advise on which brands to choose to match the overall sound and tone you are looking for or to fit within a certain budget to get best value for money.

In addition to fitting power amp valves we also offer a re-biasing service.

Some modern valve amplifiers have a self / auto biasing function but for amps without this it is advisable to have the bias checked when new valves are fitted.

Firstly PCJ will check bias settings using the original amplifier valves and then again once new valves are fitted to give you a comparison between the two.

Depending on which valves you choose to fit, they can be tweaked to run a little hotter to give more distortion. They can also be run slightly cooler to give cleaner gain and prolong the life of the valves.

Valve and amplifier manufacturers supply optimal current range settings for their products. We try to balance between these values to give you the best performance out of both your amplifier and your new valves.
